The Company Man
By Jack Engelhard
Originally appeared in The New York Times
I work for a big company. I’m small. I’m much smaller than the company. My boss told me so himself. He said, “The company is much bigger than you.”
I work out of a cell. The company calls it an office but to me it’s a cell. There are no padlocks on the door, except those that I see in my mind. I could escape, but to where? Another corporation? That’s all there is. I’m a company man.
I do everything that I’m supposed to do, 8 hours a day, 12 months a year. I get weekends off for good behavior. I get paid once every week, whether I need the money or not.

Did “Three Cups” Author Deserve “60 Minutes” Hanging?
April 19th, 2011
By Jack Engelhard
Justice without mercy is not justice.
That was an exceedingly harsh expose of Greg Mortenson last Sunday on “60 Minutes.” Can’t say I read his book “Three Cups of Tea,” a huge bestseller over the past few years, a book that’s made him very rich, rich enough to build schools and feed the impoverished in Afghanistan. No need, here, to go over all the charges made against him on “60 Minutes,” other than to list the two main allegations – that the book contains fraudulent information, and that those schools he says he built were never built.
